Come gather around kids...Did you know that everythings bigger here in AmericaWe've got the biggest cars, the biggest buildingsAnd even the biggest corporate empiresWhy don't I tell you a story about a store,Started in Arkansas about 40 years agoAnd this store would become one of the biggest corporations in the countryBut you know what they always say... Nothing is ever perfect

Fred Johnson is barely getting by in lifeHe's got 4 different kids with 4 different wivesJust a working class man, the backbone of americaWho's gotta feed his progeny Mary, Mark and EricaMark has the flu and Mary's got an ear infectionSo Fred gets a job at Wal-mart in the home and garden sectionWishes he were compensated when he worked overtimeOr at least he'd be paid above the poverty lineHe's got mouths to feed, alimony to paySo he shows up on time and goes home late every dayWhen he gets his first check he can't believe his eyesLike he was Piggy and Wal-mart was Lord of the FliesHe's a hard working dude but can't understandWhy the Wal's worth 10 billion and he's still a starving manHe qualifies for medical in 2 more yearsBut for now he uses Tylenol to ease his kids tears(now remind me why I took this job again)

[Chorus:]This is how we do it in a wal-mart nationCorporate ethics out the door in a wal-mart nationShutting down the mom and pop's with no hesitationPay our workers next to nothing in a wal-mart nationWelcome to the high cost of a low price... We're here to stay

Yo ho, yo ho a Wal-mart life for meBut predatory pricing is corporate piracyBut hey we let it go cause the prices are so lowThey sell discounts by the pound and it just goes to showA corporate empire for the modern agesBut now they pay Americans third world wagesThe sweatshirt that you bought in South CarolinaWas made in a sweatshop in Beijing, ChinaSpending Billions a year on Chinese tradeIt supports the deficit but but Robbie Waltons got it madeThey give millions to the president and he loves them backHow can democrats complain when they even hire blacksS** discrimination, women never get promotions (never)Employ illegal aliens, never a commotionWith the Christian right, so thier contraseptive freeVeggie-Tales on dvd won't prevent teen pregnancy (Sorry Ladies)

[Chorus:]

(in an unprecedented acquisition Wal-mart has purchased the entire city of New York. Discussions are now underway to change the cities name to New Wal-Mart.New York Citizens are reminded the company has nothing but benevolent intentions for them and if they don't like it they are free to leave)
